Here are two opinions upon the question of voting bonds for paving county roads, one from the Riverside Press, the other from the Santa Ana Bulletin. Both are whooping it up for road bonds, one in Riverside county, the other in this county. The towns in which they are published doubtless stand to reap great benefit from such bond issues, as roads will undoubtedly be made to lead into them, upon the ground that they are the county seats; but outlying districts may have an excellent chance of holding the bag. Here is what the Press says: It is up to Orange county to settle its own troubles; and if the people there do not want a good roads' issue, they won't have it. But when it comes to discussing the situation in other counties, the Gazette has gotten far off its orbit. We know something about this general movement for good roads, because it originated in Riverside, and we know what influences are back of the campaign, at least in this county. And the "Southern Pacific political machine" has about as much to do with it as the Gazette had with starting the recent riots in British Columbia against the Japanese.

Of nothing the august the Press says: It is up to Orange county to settle its own troubles; and if the people there do not want a good roads' issue, they won't have it. But when it comes to discussing the situation in other counties, the Gazette has gotten far off its orbit. We know something about this general movement for good roads, because it originated in Riverside, and we know what influences are back of the campaign, at least in this county. And the "Southern Pacific political machine" has about as much to do with it as the Gazette had with starting the recent riots in British Columbia against the Japanese. It would be about the most creditable stunt we ever knew the "machine" to perform if it is booming good roads, but we doubt very much whether it has any more to do with the movement in any other county than it has in Riverside. Nothing better for Southern California can be devised just now than a comprehensive system of good roads; but it is up to each county to say how it shall get them. There is certainly no occasion to drag politics into the proposition. If they are doing that in Orange county there will probably be no road bonds voted. Says the Bulletin: "The county road between this place and Olive is in wretched condition; it is a disgrace to the county," says the Anaheim Gazette. The same might be said of the road from Anaheim to Santa Ana, or the road from Anaheim or Santa Ana to most any old place. The Savage law was passed to make possible the remedying of such conditions. But the Gazette will have none of it, and brands as grafters, machine politicians and touts those citizens who are striving to find some method of benefiting from that law. Under the circumstances, where does the Gazette's kick come in, as viewed by a man up a tree? We hope our esteemed contemporaries feel better for what they have said upon the subject. This journal does not oppose good roads, but it would not trust a spiked commission with $600,000 in bonds as far as we could throw a bull "be the tail." Only that and nothing more.

Ragsdale, at Tientsin. The Chinese empire is usually pointed out as the worst example, among modern nations, of forest destruction. The floods which are periodically poured down from the denuded mountains are destructive beyond comparison with any other country, and the want of forests is assigned as the chief cause. Wood is scarcer in China than in almost any other region in the world, although the country is well adapted to the growing of trees. In the establishment of a forest school the Chinese government gives evidence that it realizes the need of beginning its reforestation in a scientific manner.

That it has The organization has given proof of this spirit and is reaping beneficent results. For on one occasion when certain laxity of principle seemed to show itself, heeding the voice of the church, the order vindicated itself, and the result has been for this act of unselfishness your order has grown in strength and deserved that beautiful recognition in an official letter from the hierarchy. To your order does the church look for a tower of strength. That there may be found a short-sighted few, who cannot grasp the situation, is expected. They narrow their sphere of usefulness, and to every project they may exclaim, "Not practicable!" Here is a manifestation of selfishness. Sad indeed if this spirit were to grow, for it is a cankerworm gnawing at the root and unfortunately would draw from the tree its sap. The tree which otherwise would be so grand, affording to the weary and oppressed a shelter. Selfishness hardens; you can discover it in the merchant who thinks of none other than himself. You can read it in the families who narrow their usefulness to a little circle and no longer aim to benefit the community in which they live. You can read it in the corruption and rottenness of politicians, who no longer believe in an office as a public trust, but merely as a means to further their own interests. You can read it in the riots and disturbances of strikes and labor quarrels. The root of evil is avarice, and selfishness begets avarice. From without, therefore, we look for something more from your order. Unless charity forms the foundation of your organization, in vain will we find the fruits of a healthy tree. You have placed your standard high. Fidelity to the ideals of the founders will bring God's blessing upon the approval of the church. Hence care in the admission of members.

And know once and forever no man can be truly great unless he knows how to sacrifice himself. This brings out the best that is in man and makes him a knight in society, in the church and before God. In the afternoon Knights assembled at Odd Fellows hall, where work in first and second degree was performed by the visiting councils. A class of twenty new members, from Long Beach, Pomona and this city, were initiated. Council remained in session until 6 o'clock. Those initiated from this city were Sam Kraemer, L. Westerman and J. Bushard; David Smythe of Coachella, Louis Denni of Los Alamitos, James Conliff of Fullerton, and Leo Borchard of Huntington Beach. In the evening an elaborate banquet was served by the Catholic ladies at the former church building on Palm street. After the repast had been discussed, impromptu toasts were responded to by visiting Knights as well as those from this city. At conclusion of the feast many Knights returned to their homes, while others remained for the evening services at the church. At 8 o'clock the church was filled by a large congregation at vespers. Rev. Nunan delivered an address upon the life and achievements of Columbus. After saying the fame of Columbus was greater than that of Caesar, Alexander or Napoleon, he continued in part as follows: This is not fulsome flattery; this is but following the behest of Holy Writ; which tells us to praise men of just renown.

Assembled this evening in honor of Columbus, it will be well to briefly study his life and draw from it some practical lesson that will assist us in the humdrum of everyday existence. The story of his career is known to all of us. We remember how his studies brought to him the knowledge that a course across the Atlantic would bring him to the shores of the Indies. He did not dream of finding a new continent, and the fact he actually discovered a new land was denied him during his life. His ideas, however, were scouted and ridiculed—they were considered as the vagaries of a disordered mind, the phantoms of a diseased imagination. Rich in hope, but poor in pocket, he was buffeted about from court to court, vainly seeking assistance for the realization of his cherished idea. Wellnigh utterly disheartened, but encouraged by a monk of the Franciscan order, as a final appeal he knocked at the court of Spain. It was the golden age of Spanish glory and Spanish literature. To the council board of the sovereigns he unfolded his plan. Fired with a possibility of what would happen if the work was wrought to a finish, and no doubt imbibing some of the enthusiasm of Columbus, Isabella pledged her jewels to further his design, his ideas were received with favor. On October 12th of that memorable year 1492 burst forth from Columbus and his crew the grand Te Deum—the great song of thanksgiving and triumph-for there before them, in all its original beauty, was the land that they had dispaired of ever seeing. A frenzy of joy seized upon the disheartened sailors—they cast themselves at the feet of Columbus, kissed the hem of his garments, and begged forgiveness for their rudeness and open content. With the cross aloft, preceded by his faithful chaplains, Columbus advanced toward the land. Stepping on the shore he planted the banner of the crucified, erected an altar, and the great sacrifice was offered up. and Columbus took possession in the name of The Bonapartes always stitious, especially the naked leon. She always had that the rise and fall would occur in the same glory which was them would be followed. And the prediction was died in her eighty-seven lived long enough to see of all her children.

The dangers he under-the bitter soul-agony he experienced, heart-rending sufferings he endured, are gotten in the happiness-of a work well accomplished. His joy was not the one of a vain personal glory—it was not manifestation of a self-seeking worldly acme. It was the laudable, praiseworthy gladness of a man of God permeated the thought that His Maker had made a humble being, the willing instrument for furtherance of His kingdom on earth. Was the great tune that rang through the joy of his joy. All things for the glory of what was his guiding principle—pomp and or, and riches, were but secondary conditions. Now how he returned to Spain to give it of his vovage; how the whole king-name forth, as it were, to accord him a rather royal welcome; how Ferdinand andola heaped titles upon him; how his and his deeds were on every lip.
